James Hall (1922–2011), also known as Jim Hall, was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s. He played for North Sydney and Manly-Warringah in the NSWRL competition. Hall was a foundation player for Manly-Warringah, featuring in the club's first season and first game.

In 1946, it was announced that two new clubs were to be admitted into the NSWRL competition for the 1947 season which were Parramatta and Manly-Warringah. Due to the residency rules at the time, Hall fell under the Manly district zone and was required to play for them.
